Huawei AppGallery flaw allegedly allows anyone to download paid apps for free

19 May 2022
The company has known for months and is yet to do anything about the situation.

    yuRiy, 25 May 2022It's not about how much RAM you have - it's about... moreOptimization isn't everything. Apple is pretty dumb with theirs and unfortunately their pricing sucks. I have an Ipad 7th Gen which cost over $500 and can barely keep up with a game like Genshin. Any other Android with even 6 or 8GB would easily do will for less money and unoptimized RAM. Again Android RAM cant be unoptimized its just optimized whole lot less then Apple. I would never buy another apple because its too restrictive and the OS isn't even that good.

Asus ROG phones will easily outperform any Apple Mobile device whether its optimized or not bc it has 18GB of RAM and a Processor significantly better (but not more powerful) then the M1 Chip in Apple Devices. Apple is too damn strict and for that reason its very limited.

              tf are you talking about?? Every quality game I can find on App store I can also find on the Play store. They're not gonna pass on a platform as big as Android lmao

                  You may want to confirm from someone using that particular phone you intend to purchase to know if sound assistant is available on it, because I've heard that they don't offer it on phones with budget SoCs.

                  No adjustable flashlight on MIUI, at least on 12.5.

                    I still do it by going to google and typing (example: gta sa apk and so on.) And google provides me the free game.

                      Developer's are not fools either that's why they make "games" which are actually not games instead they are time waster due to sheer amount of in-app purchases and advertisements and ofcourse "free" for people like you.

                      Mobiles are getting powerful but games are going down.

                      That's why ios platform is best for mobile gaming and that's why you will find lots of better games on ios as compared to Android.

I just wanted to make sure because i searched for so long a few years ago and couldn't find any alternative to samsung with that back then. Makes sense, since it seems this feature came after MIUI 12.2x in 2020. Thanks for pointing it out man, this is great, so I could go for a Redmi 11 Pro+ as a comfortable audio device with the 3.5mm jack, LHDC, microSD for my big flac library and sound assistant for uninterrupted audio enjoyment. Apart of the A52s.

                        Now the icing on the cake would be the adjustable flashlight brightness control, did that arrive on MIUI in the meantime? As gsmarena unfortunately does report only very rare about the availability (or the lack) of these useful goodies (I always had to root my xperias after 2012 because they were dim as F and really useless as a torch light without mod, that's why it's important for me).

                        Also, is call recording still available?

                          AnonF-1006353, 20 May 2022Just to make clear we're talking of the same thing: Yo... moreThe confidence. 😂

                          Send your email address then.

                          Save you the trouble, look it up: search for MIUI sound assistant. It's right here on my Mi 11 Lite 5G.

                                    I'll repeat again that Huawei should fix the issue soon (as i said before), as it probably doesn't help their image either, aside from causing whatever amount of loss to the developers.

                                      This kind of flaw can never happen to Playstore especially Appstore cause their sooooooo stingy 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Well, it makes a difference to this developer, which is probably why he's speaking about it. Money lost is money lost. Saying that it doesn't make a difference is an attempt to downplay the concern showed by a developer, who's actually in a place to know whether or not it "really" makes a difference. I reckon that if it doesn't make a "real" difference, that he'd not be so bothered as to come forward with the complaint.

                                        No one said you shouldn't show sympathy to Huawei, but downplaying a real concern to key players in the ecosystem shouldn't be a way to do that.
